Mark Your Calendar


The Florida First District Court of Appeal will hear cases at Florida Coastal on March 10th and 11th. The judges on the panel are Judge James R. Wolf, Judge Joseph Lewis, Jr., and Judge Simone Marstiller.

Oral arguments will take place in the Appellate Courtroom each day beginning at 9 a.m. This is a tremendous opportunity to observe the Florida appellate court in action without having to travel to do so. Students are encouraged to drop in to hear at least a portion of the arguments. The First DCA judges understand that students will be coming and going to attend classes; therefore, you are free to come and stay as long as you can. Also, please remember to be very quiet and respectful while observing the arguments.

The dress is professional attire and students are asked to remove any hats and silence cell phones and beepers before entering the room.
